looks good

pastel moon

which one

vapid smelt
#

both

nimble trout
#

Alright, I will take it all apart, piece by piece and put it back together.

pastel moon
#

if it shows the specs - is it all good?

vapid smelt
#

should be

pastel moon
#

typically I tend to think "specs" aren't everything

#

but maybe that's a PC / Laptop approach#

#

anyone wanna reccomend games on sale from steam?

pastel moon
#

aka - you can buy prebuilts or laptops that are awful but are "good specs"

pastel moon
# vapid smelt should be

but for a monitor you're saying it's more simple and if it has the specs, probably not much that can go wrong

#

(hopefully..)

#

not many companies make the panels/screens

probably the same companies

we need rtx remastered l4d2

#

like these could be the same displays effectively but branded or tweaked ?

vapid smelt
pastel moon
#

just thinking of pros and cons of like going on aliexpress

vapid smelt
#

they could lie about the srgb or have poorer QC so it could come with dead pixels

pastel moon
#

is it possible to find out where panels come from in a certain monitor?

#

like who made the panel that's in X monitor?

# pastel moon would a DIY laptop monitor pass through airport security?

Laptop users generally have to just put up with having a single main screen, but thanks to upcycling we can build a DIY portable secondary screen for laptops using recycled parts to keep the cost as low as $25! It not only performs really well, but it looks incredibly unique - it's a piece of solid industrial tech this one! Once you use two scre...

Guys, should i go AMD or Nvidia GPU?

vapid smelt
silent hawk
#

which oner

#

🧐

silent hawk
#

I heard it runs trash on older games

vapid smelt
#

they are improving with every driver update

silent hawk
#

Well I don't want to beta test their product

vapid smelt
#

go amd then

silent hawk
#

My budget is around 600 USD, what AMD GPU would you recommend?

#

(or nvidia for that matter)

vapid smelt
#
jaunty compass
#

for?

vapid smelt
neon mesa
#

Going AMD is about as good as good intel if you're worried about drivers

#

Recently AMD been bricking windows (again)

#

Yes again

#

The second time this year

vapid smelt
#

im fine

pliant karma
neon mesa
#

Last time was in February

jaunty compass
#

when was the first one?

neon mesa
#

But with intel you at least get faster than nvidia ray tracing

#

And not dogshit editing performance

jaunty compass
#

I'm not going to turn on raytracing to begin with

neon mesa
#

At 250 it's either 6600XT or A750
I'm going A750 all the way

#

If used is in the equation at 250 I'll take 3060 12GB, 3060ti if lucky (some deals did pop up)

unkempt widget
#

wait is a750 limited edition 8gb or 16

neon mesa
#

8GB

#

A770 is 16GB

jaunty compass
#

i ate too many fruit loops now my mouth hurts

vapid smelt
#

rx 6650xt is the same price as the a750 Hmmm

weary nebula
#

How do I use a BIOS flash button?

neon mesa
#

6650XT is basically the same as 6600XT

#

Im upgrading pc to play fortnite but i have a motherboard i need to make a update on it so i can put a new cpu in

neon mesa
#

Not to mention intel actually has proper AI engine and can work with PyTorch in windows

#

As opposed to AMD's pain to install ROCm that only works in linux

weary nebula
#

ryzen 5600x

#

because i love fortnite

neon mesa
#

Preference
You have no right in judging someone's game preference, just saying.

weary nebula
#

I got Ryzen 5 5600X and AMD Radeon

neon mesa
#

There is no reason to get a 1080 non ti, they're slow, and old, and power inefficient

weary nebula
#

but i need to fit it to a motherboard i've had since 2018 but I haven't turned it on before

#

so it needs several updates

neon mesa
#

And people who say things like you did now is probably 9

weary nebula
#

the graphics

#

gpu

neon mesa
#

The 6600XT is as fast if not faster than 1080ti and eats like 70w less

vapid smelt
neon mesa
#

And can somewhat ray trace

#

1080ti straight up can't

weary nebula
#

AMD Radeon 7600XT

#

i think

neon mesa
#

don't think it exists yet

weary nebula
#

6650XT i mean

#

upgrading from ASUS FX 8350 crosshair and r9 280

#

stuck on window s7

#

i bought 11 pro for the new one now

#

$228

#

i had a unused windows 10 pro but im ingame cant explain

hollow pulsar
#

Now hold up here

weary nebula
#

brb 10 minutes

hollow pulsar
#

He bought a FULL key.

weary nebula
#

in 2018 i got a message on my computer saying windows 7 is insecure

#

and that my pc doesn't meet requirements for windows 10, so i bought windows 10 pro and a new motherboard but nothing was compatible

neon mesa
#

No... He just bought a retail key...

hollow pulsar
#

$7 keys if I recall, are gray market keys and can only be used once.

neon mesa
#

And for 7 dollars you're probably the one scammed...

weary nebula
#

im using that motherboard and ssd to upgrade my pc in 2023

#

and bought a new 11 pro because

neon mesa
#

OEM keys are still at 20 bucks

weary nebula
#

I want the latest

neon mesa
#

Guy probably bought a pirated windows sold as "legit" for 7 bucks

weary nebula
#

and i also need to delete the windows 10 USB to update my BIOS

#

Its the only usb I have

#

and now theres MSI.rom on there nothi else

#

so i bought a windows 11 pro to go with the rest

neon mesa
#

Everything he said so far makes sense...

#

You're really pushing out nonsense

hollow pulsar
#

Many mobo’s require the USB key to be formatted for fat32, and the Win 10/11 USB installer formats the drive. It’s very likely the USB drive needs to be reformatted to place the BIOS update on it.

neon mesa
#

You said he overpaid for windows (when it's a full retail key unlike the cheap OEM key you got that can only be used once) but wants him to pay a company to do a bios update linus

weary nebula
#

I need to flash the bios yeah

#

because i never turned this motherboard on before

neon mesa
#

Plug the usb on the back and go to the bios flash menu, it's pretty simple

weary nebula
neon mesa
#

Bro stop judging him on his game, let him do his thing, you're legit being more immature than any Fortnite player

weary nebula
#

I bought this motherboard to try and update to windows 10 for safety reasons back in 2018 but my CPU has the pins in different arrays so i couldn't fit my cpu

#

the cpu I want to use is a 2023 Ryzen 5600X

neon mesa
#

What motherboard do you have

weary nebula
#

MSI X370

neon mesa
#

It should work

weary nebula
#

with a samsung 970 pro in it

neon mesa
#

The pin array is the same

weary nebula
#

no

#

n ot with my current CPU

neon mesa
#

5600x is AM4, X370 is AM4

weary nebula
#

I tried 5 years ago

#

i'm using a ASUS Crosshair formula Z

neon mesa
#

5 years ago 5600x doesn't exist

weary nebula
#

yeah i know but im using a FX 8350

neon mesa
#

Yeah then it's different

weary nebula
#

And I thought i could fit my old stuff but my FX 8350 couldn't slot in

#

so I couldn't get any further than inserting the ssd

#

had to pack stuff away until this week

neon mesa
#

The FX and the X370 doesn't fit together because the FX is AM3

weary nebula
#

yeah

neon mesa
#

However the 5600x will fit

weary nebula
#

so when I insert the 5600X I can't go to the bios can i? it won't be supported?

neon mesa
#

You need existing cpu

weary nebula
#

I need to use msi.roim way

neon mesa
#

If you can borrow a supported cpu it would work to update it

#

You need a supported cpu to get in the bios in the first place

weary nebula
#

Thats really bad for me if thats true lol

#

I heard i could just use the button to flash

#

@full fossil do you know anything about that?

#

How I deal with the bios flash

#

yeah I have 2 buttons, 1 is clear cmos and 1 is bios flash

#

and theres also some other buttons

#

probably to switch it on

#

Nope only 1 computer and its this desktop

neon mesa
#

Read your motherboard manual

weary nebula
#

I don't have library in my country

neon mesa
#

It's probably one of those boards with self updating capability

#

Read the manual to see how to use it

weary nebula
#

im 3rd world

neon mesa
#

It could be as simple as plugging usb in and then pressing the button

weary nebula
#

i can try that

#

when i get 5600x and install it

#

i'm using a MSI X370 Xpower gaming titanium

#

At venezuela we don't really have pc parts available most are 10 years old and i don't know how to know which cpu would work

#

without bios update, should i just find a amd cpu released in 2018?

#

if button doesn't work

#

or should I change the motherboard

#

if it doesn't work

plush rivet
#

Your bios flashback should work with it

rugged bridge
#

@weary nebula According to Bing Chat;

weary nebula
#

but what if i can't open the bios settings

weary nebula
#

google says the same thing but what if i can't open bios settings im fucked?

rugged bridge
#

do you have the right stuff on the usb for the bios update

weary nebula
#

yeah

rugged bridge
weary nebula
#

I think so, btw i only have 1 computer and we don't have any public computers at all

#

so i deleted a windows 10 usb and formatted as fat32 with nothing but MSI.ROM

weary nebula
rugged bridge
graceful burrow
#

You don't boot/post the pc to use bios flashback

#

Bios flashback doesn't even need a cpu installed

rugged bridge
#

apparently some mobos support doing that stuff without a cpu

weary nebula
rugged bridge
#

idk exactly how it workss

weary nebula
#

if I bought X570 I won't need to update bios right?

graceful burrow
weary nebula
#

should I just do that

graceful burrow
#

Do what you want I'm just giving objective info

weary nebula
#

i'm asking if theres a way to make it work on this one or not

graceful burrow
#

No clue, haven't looked at your board and wont

#

If it's got bios flashback look at the manual to see how it works

weary nebula
#

if theres not i better buy a new one

rugged bridge
#

you need to try and do the research yourself.. thats how you learn

weary nebula
graceful burrow
#

You should probably read the manual thoroughly

weary nebula
#

im just a gamer and i have autism so im hard to work with im not that good with this stuff

#

so i know im a pain in the ass but i did actually search for hours and i made a usb successfully

#

I would try and remove plastic from the cpu socket and insert the old cpu

graceful burrow
#

You aren't being a pain in the ass, I am kek
You're fine

weary nebula
#

however from what i see is that the contact points under the plastic part of the socket are literally holes the same shape as the plastic on top

#

so even by removing the plastic cover from my cpu socket, my old cpu wouldn't fit

rugged bridge
#

so why cant you update the bios?

#

the computer wont boot?

weary nebula
#

i probably can't turn the motherboard on

#

don't think so

rugged bridge
#

well if you haven't tried you wont know

#

sometimes youll get lucky and it will work out of the box

weary nebula
#

maybe even more than that because as i said im from venezuela so we dont have great availablilty

#

so i just bought what i could at the time

#

It says AMD Ryzen

#

1000 and Athlon A6 series

#

im gonna put a ryzen 5600x

graceful burrow
#

Get the non-x

weary nebula
#

i dont wanna save the money and risk facing problems but to me price of a new motherboard is so much money

#

what is not x?

graceful burrow
#

5600
No x
Non-x

weary nebula
#

The one i bought is AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

graceful burrow
#

Damn rip

weary nebula
#

so it has to work with that

graceful burrow
#

Could a saved a buck

weary nebula
#

i spend a lot of my life on my computer

#

i dont care

#

just need to upgrade now because im on windows 7 with a computer literally older than season 1

native crag
#

At least you can now run Windows 11

weary nebula
#

yeah

#

im so eixicted

#

to get this together hopefully it works

ashen igloo
#

Does anyone have blue or green or yellow noctua corner rubber pieces?

graceful burrow
#

I hope not
That's means they'd have bought noctua, waste of money

ashen igloo
#

I have rules of noctua fans

#

Oodles

eager venture
#

What’s a good comfy seat to sit down that can recline so I can also lie down

native crag
# graceful burrow No

@weary nebula You should still update the BIOS regardless. Lots of AMD AGESA patches in firmware over the years. The latest past few versions leave fTPM enabled by default as it's required for Windows 11

ashen igloo
weary nebula
weary nebula
#

the old motherboard is no good?

weary nebula
#

he did tell me

#

my situation rn is im using a really old pc and im buying to upgrade it but i have a old motherboard with a ssd in it that i wanted to reuse but theres some conflicts online about it

native crag
#

Update the BIOS regardless to latest supported on any MB you get. But yes, you'll want a MB that supports the Ryzen 5 5600 out of the box. Otherwise you might need to do a BIOS Flashback. If it doesn't support Flashback, then you will have to temporarily use a donor CPU if the chipset is old enough.

weary nebula
#

and some people say the graphics card won't work at full speed in the old motherboard

#

which tbh I don't care about as i'll underclock anyway

eager venture
native crag
hollow pulsar
#

I don’t know of too many seats that can recline to be perpendicular to the wall. Bit I have seen beds that can sit up

weary nebula
native crag
#

It's fine, PCIe 3.0 isn't much of a hit on the card. Maybe a few percentage points in FPS, but nothing to worry about. It's nothing really

#

Like, 1 or 2% difference at most

weary nebula
#

and FLASHB1 button

#

i can just press that after assemling and it will begin update from usb?

#

i won't have internet from the point that i take my pc apart so im writing notes

#

i don't have a smartphone

#

and don't have other computers or anything like that

full fossil
#

when you start up your pc

weary nebula
#

I don't think it will start up if the cpu is not supported

full fossil
#

oh

weary nebula
#

I have to update bios

full fossil
#

bruh

native crag
full fossil
#

when I got my motherboard it was already updated

weary nebula
#

Ok so i can install everything and then i can press FLASHB1

#

and it will update bios and work with 5600X?

full fossil
#

yes and yoou dont need cpu to be installed to run the update

native crag
weary nebula
#

guys I won't be able to google stuff from the point that i take the computer apart, i don't have a smartphone and no one that i know has smartphone with internet

pliant karma
weary nebula
#

I tried 5 years ago and i know that my old cpu won't fit

#

and I checked the socket I thought about removing the plastic

#

because i might be able to get the old cpu in i thought

#

but it seems as if theres contacts under the plastic bracket that holds the cpu, and those line up with the holes in the socket plastic

#

so u can't just remove that and insert a cpu that doesn't normally fit just to have it work long enough to update bios

native crag
graceful burrow
#

If you remove the plastic on the socket you might as well toss the board entirely

weary nebula
#

i'm using am3+

#

to be exact

#

which is old and probably supported because its from before 2018 but it won't fit

native crag
weary nebula
#

I have the latest non beta on my usb already

#

i renamed to MSI.ROM

native crag
#

You need the latest per their website

weary nebula
#

so i'll have 1 with windows 11 pro and 1 with msi bios

#

i do have the latest

#

its hard because i dont have 2 computers

broken pendant
#

Anyone know if the pillow thing is still going on?

weary nebula
#

so im taking notes

#

on paper about how to do this

native crag
#

The latest is dated 2022-07-15

weary nebula
#

i don't want beta because thats so unstable

#

i did research and people say its bad

native crag
#

It's not, also it fixes USB issues with CPU

#

Bad for that MB specifically?

weary nebula
#

yeah i googled the version

#

and people say the ssd stops working after installation

#

only sata m.2 will come and i'm not sure what that is but I have a ssd in my motherboard

native crag
#

Could be because of their RAM

weary nebula
#

not a sata cable like my old one right now is using, i'll be using the ssd in the motherboard

#

samsung 970 pro

full fossil
native crag
#

So here's the issue you're in. If your CPU won't work (because it's missing microcode in the 2019 BIOS), you will have no choice but to upgrade it to the latest beta

weary nebula
#

dont know what im gonna do with the old one tho

#

its never even used maybe i can be lucky to sell it

#

i dont want to run beta stuff

native crag
#

So buy a B550 board. X570 does offer additional M.2 slots in PCIe 4.0 speeds, but with a B550, you'll at least have a GPU and one M.2 drive in PCIe 4.0 speeds. Also, it's quite as the X570 requires a chipset fan (and those break and are noisy )

weary nebula
#

i'm just going to get the newer version of this one

native crag
#

I recommend ASROCK if you can find one

weary nebula
#

nah

#

i'll just get the new version of this one, the black one

#

its hard to find stuff here in venezuela and i already paid $130 for the other shipment of the cpu and gpu and stuff from usa

#

actually $160

#

i dont wanna pay that again

native crag
#

Well, you can always sell the old MB if it's working

weary nebula
#

i don't know if it is

#

i never used it XD but why not?

native crag
#

Oh, you bought it used?

weary nebula
#

no

pliant karma
weary nebula
#

I bought it brand new in 2018 to try and install windows 10

native crag
#

So, it's new-old stock?

weary nebula
#

when I found out FX 8350 wouldn't work

native crag
#

Ahh ok

weary nebula
#

i had to put my computer back together with my old stuff and put the motherboard and samsung ssd back in the box for 5 years

#

im gonna buy the new version of this one which is MSI MEG X570 Godlike

#

but you wouldn't want me to tell you the price of that one, so i'm going to get the MSI MEG X570 ACE

native crag
#

Godlike is in the price too

weary nebula
#

which isn't as good for overclocking and only has 4 sata ports on the side but i don't wanna use any sata ports at all, just the samsung ssd

#

and im not going to overclock anything

weary nebula
#

so i dont need the godlike

native crag
#

Yeah, it's overkill unless you're into competitive OCing

weary nebula
#

im from 3rd world

#

and we cant upgrade every 2 years or buy expensive stuff just for fun

#

so i buy mid range but high quality

#

Ryzen 5 5600X

#

from AMD FX 8350

#

and i also got 32 gb ram to go with the 5600X

native crag
#

My father still runs a Phenom II x4 with Windows 10. It's old

weary nebula
#

isnt that am3

native crag
#

Runs ECC RAM though. Never BSODed

weary nebula
#

Mine is newer than your fathers but i can't update to windows 10 XD

#

i'm stuck on windows 7

#

home premium

#

my gpu and motherboard don't support newer

native crag
#

Rock-solid. Already been through a PSU, CMOS battery, and a drive. That's about it. Oh, and had a GPU upgrade because needed compatibility with a CAD program

#

But it's slow. Needs to upgrade

weary nebula
#

this upgrade im doing should last like 5-6 years for me

#

or more hopefully

#

got a new Radeon gpu

#

RX 6650xt

native crag
#

15 years on a PC, lol. Damn. Forgot that Phenom II was released in 2008

full fossil
#

upgraded psu, swapped cmos and swapped hdd to ssd and a new gpu uwu

native crag
#

Yeah, PSUs die, and CMOS battery good for about 8 years at best

weary nebula
#

cant wait

#

im gonna get new board tho im not gonna waste time making a tutorial on paper how to update when it seems like its not sure i can update it

#

and i don't get new features if i use a old motherboard

#

and if i upgrade every 7 years i dont need to save money its just stupid within reason

#

forgot gpu on the new one but i added it now

native crag
#

Don't try and upgrade your existing drive to 11. Fresh install only

weary nebula
#

im not using the existing drive

native crag
#

Cool

weary nebula
#

im gonna use that samsung drive i never used

#

it should be empty

#

i should be good to run like 7 years with this setup i think

native crag
#

Yeah, easily

weary nebula
#

until windows 13?

native crag
#

12, actually

weary nebula
#

i think i wont upgrade just for that

#

i'll upgrade for windows 13

native crag
#

Not sure if that's the official name of it, but it's in the works.

weary nebula
#

so i'll have gone from windows 7 > windows 11 > windows 13

#

unless my pc will support windows 12

#

i probably wont

native crag
#

12 might be a limitation on CPU type. Security features really. But Windows 11 will be supported for a long time now

weary nebula
#

also my current monitor

#

ViewSonic VA708A 17.0" 1280 x 1024 60 Hz Monitor

#

new one: Asus VG248QG 24.0" 1920 x 1080 165 Hz Monitor

#

so i'll get full HD and 165 and 24 inch

#

i thought why not do that

#

because my old monitor wouldnt even plug into a new graphics card xd

#

new graphics card doesn't have blue or white ports

#

just hdmis

native crag
#

VGA is dead

#

If it's the wide white port, that DVI, and also pretty much dead

weary nebula
#

its vga on the monitor end and dvi on the gpu end

native crag
#

So your two competing standards is HDMI and DP (Display Port)

weary nebula
#

im gonna use hdmi

#

or dp if it includes that the new monitor

native crag
#

Can't go wrong with either frankly

weary nebula
#

yea hdmi 2.0 supports full 165 i saw

native crag
#

Yeah, go with DP if the cable is included.

full fossil
#

I used DP for the higher refresh rate

#

165hz

#

then you can even use 10bpc

weary nebula
#

i might still need a bios update

#

if my motherboard is from 2019 ?

#

the new one is released in 2019

#

the one i'll buy

#

the cpu released in 2020 but it might be close enough that it works

broken pendant
#

is the pillow deal still going on on LTTStore

weary nebula
#

i should probably still prepare MSI.ROM with the newest bios on the new motherboard on a usb just incase XD

native crag
graceful burrow
broken pendant
weary nebula
#

we don't have those at all

#

and i don't have another compute or a smartphone

graceful burrow
weary nebula
#

so when i take this apart i wont be online anymore

native crag
#

No pillow talk

weary nebula
#

and no one i know has internet on their smartphone

#

because our banks doesn't let us recharge our phones

#

we can't take the money even when we have it and we can't pay in other currencies at the telecoms

#

venezuela

native crag
#

Close enough

weary nebula
#

i cant

#

obviously

#

i cant do shit about it literally

unlike GPU, CPUs are standardized and both uses the same instruction sets meaning they will do the same task at the same speed granted that they're equivalent CPU

meaning there is no "AMD is worse in physics"

you check benchmarks

and you get an idea

what cpu are you even comparing

or use real scenarios

bruh 3dmark cert expired 😔

also 13600K is more closer to a 7700X

Hello folks, I have a bit of a situation I'm trying to figure out.

If you had the opportunity to work on a massive AAA game, which would last for months - years, but you were only getting say 20-25 hours of work a week, OR you found a remote full time job doing saying CSR work, would you take the game op or would you go for the stable income?

#

The only difference is one is say 20 hours more a week

lilac sage
#

I mean you can just do freelance in the meantime

rugged bridge
broken crown
manic torrent
manic torrent
#

Assuming you're an audio engineer who wants to be an audio engineer, not a CSR 🙂

lilac sage
#

video game devs are typically paid awfully for their hours

slate grail
#

This is a sound gig

lilac sage
#

so unless ur passionate about this game and think it would maybe further ur career dont do it

broken crown
#

@slate grail The question you should be leading yourself with first is, which one is gonna pay your bills better?

idle nymph
#

Write that down write that down

#

I disagree you shouldn't primarily focus on money.

Experience holds a lot of value

slate grail
#

That's the thing; after all is said and done, the game stuff leads to more in the future

Because I've been working on this for a couple months now

if you enjoy the job it isnt really a job, its a hobby you get paid for.

broken crown

@slate grail Given the duration of this, total the money difference between the game dev and CSR role. Which one can you remain financially stable with for 2-3 years? If game dev will support you well enough during that time, fuck it, why not? If it won't, either consider a second 20-hour job, or go with CSR.
